the way obama handled his response to hurricane sandy. he showed leadership at a time when the nation was crying out for leadership, said bloomberg. and not only that, bloomberg noted that obama alone realizes the importance of climate change that climate change is one of the causes of sandy's powerful punch, and unlike mitt romney president obama is committed to doing something about climate change in his second term. good for michael bloomberg. it is an issue that the united states must take the lead on, and president obama will show that leadership in his second term. that's it for this week folks. get out and call your friends and knock on doors, and we'll come back and talk about it on monday.
